Re: Kraber bad legendary

Wait, you and your team push after a Kraber shot? Did you mistake a sniper with a shotgun or something? Because last time I used any kind of sniper, it was from distances over 100 meters away from the target. And well, since Lifeline's separate reviving is a thing now, it's more easy than ever to basically nullify any attempt of downing targets from a distance, hence why AR's are usually the superior choice...

98% of the times that I won or lost against the last team standing, it was with AR's, shotguns or pistols. I wouldn't bring it up if I didn't have some serious concern about a legendary weapon like the Kraber.

Then again, several 'veterans' proclaim the game to be perfectly balanced or something.

@Peri_Longbow_plzyea, the kraber can be used up close if need be. 100 + Damage in one shot guaranteed.

I would take that and push. Maybe your using it in the wrong way. The Lifeline changes do suck but that's for another discussion 😏

@xx_Dante2k_xx Yes, you can use a sniper up-close. But that's not the role of the sniper. And you also can't expect people to purely get a sniper, more specifically the Kraber only to use it on close range. At this rate you can use the Devotion, too. In the most cases, games end when the ring has roughly a diameter of 200 meters. Which is the only point of the game where snipers are still in some way useful.

Again, what's the point of a - Let me highlight it - a one-shot kill sniper, if ranged takeouts are basically showing zero relevance. Revival is done quick. It takes 4 Kraber shots to kill a purple knockdown shield. I very rarely win a game with a sniper, or see people winning games with snipers. If they truly were that great, more people would use them. If some few people are using Kraber to end games, sure, but a little few aren't really drawing the rule here.

@Peri_Longbow_plzSo what do you want to see change with the snipers? Specifically the Kraber.
They could make the reload quicker and the rof quicker but what would that achieve in reality.

@xx_Dante2k_xx I suggested an easy change. Ranged takeouts with Snipers are lethal. No second chances. I'd rather die stupidly to a sniper than going down and just be annoyed.

@Peri_Longbow_plz It doesn't bother me but everyone would be using a sniper in that case.
Also spamming the Triple take and Longbow wouldn't knock but eliminate someone? Sounds a bit op to me.

@xx_Dante2k_xx Can be limited to headshots only.

No that would be annoying just make the kraber pierce knock down shields.

@Peri_Longbow_plzOk but what about people who use the sniper rifles as battle rifles with 2x sight? It would suck and completely ruin the game if everyone started running only snipers because they kill people without any chance for a revive. What about the triple take? People love to use it as a shotgun.
